Universal has a Frog 7 w/Collins filter

In article , says... I passed on the keypad about 5 times over the years. I should have grabbed up the new one Universal had in the used stuff just after the 525 came out, and people traded their 515's in on them. I can't remember what they wanted, but I thought it was way too high. The next couple had minor scratches and I passed on them too. The next two were so insanely priced, I just couldn't pull the trigger. It's hard to believe I've had my 515 for almost 25 years, and it's almost 30 years old. But, the 515 feels like a real radio. this one has been here, i guess about 15+ years. never missed a beat. bunch of people complain about the sound, i run the JRC's with the old radio shack 7 speakers. when RS dumped them, i got my hands on 6 of them. great speaker for any radio. BTW, the price is still high. an NVA-515 just went $550. on e-screw last week. universal has a 515 and the 98 ch mem unit for $1550. i don't need another JRC. Drifter... |

I finally soldered them on and put deoxit on all the plugs and it permanently cured it. I had a couple of bad solder joints over the years, on the PS and one of the ribbon cable plugs. The NVA-515 is a pretty worthless speaker, IMO, I got it just to have the "set". I have a second one I bought at a hamfest, it's had the actual speaker replaced with a really nice sounding speaker that sounds very good, especially running off the line out, through a small car amp. I hope I don't have to get too desperate money wise, and have to sell one or more of my toys.. BDK. I don't even like the sound of that. if it ever gets that bad, the vultures, like radio-mart, will offer pennies on a dollar. hope it doesn't come to that. and, if you ever want to part with your 515, keep me in mind, and i'll make you a reasonable offer. i just hope it never comes to this. i have "too many radios", but i can't help myself. my city home looks like a radio museum. i guess radio is my art.
